Friday is all about piano clad Chicago house music… in Shoreditch. Society (We Are Not a Rockband and ECC) have combined forces to bring you the legend that is Marshall Jefferson DJing at a night that will be filled with good times (of their other parties are anything to go by!). As if that wasn’t enough, they’ve also just announced that Dan Beaumont and Andy Blake will be on the decks too.

Before reaching those hands in the air, you’ll need a ticket to get in. They are selling out fast, but you can buy them in advance (they will hold some back on the door, but will be more expensive).

The good folks of We Are Not A Rockband are bringing a (packed full of old skool flava) taste of Chicago led acid house to Hackney in the form of SOCIETY’s second outing. Following on from the success of the London bloggers’ last rave at Metalworks, Islington, they are hosting this summer party – guaranteed to aurally stimulate visions of late 80’s, early 90’s house for those that remember and some stunning new sounds for those that don’t. Legendary DJ Marshall Jefferson will be the star alongside more renowned acid house DJs and of course the We Are Not A Rockband DJs.

WANARB say this…

“It really doesn’t get much more influential than Marshall Jefferson. Only a few people on this planet have been offered the title ‘Godfather of House’, and one stands out from the crowd as being the man that defined house music, and indeed dance music as we know it today. His name is Marshall Jefferson. In 1986 he played piano on a house record for the first time ever; the track was called “Move Your Body” and it single-handedly redefined dance music forever.”

The last rave was awesome – old and young coming together with one thing in mind, to party like it was 1989. Most of the early and discounted tickets have sold out, so get online and buy them HERE for a tenner before ticket prices go up on the night!
